It is a binary file at that... so don't make the implementation a file. or make the contents _of_ the file available via a file system interface. quoted for a second time in this thread, this link: http://www.bindview.com/Services/RAZOR/Utilities/Unix_Linux/ntreg_readme.cfm todd sabin's linux filesystem device driver, which understands nt registry fileformat. NTREG ----- This is a file system driver for linux, which understands the NT registry file format. With it, you can take registry files from NT, e.g., SAM, SECURITY, etc., and mount them on linux. Currently, it's read-only, though I may add read-write capability in the future. http://www.bindview.com/Resources/RAZOR/Files/ntreg.tar.gz mentioned for a second time in this thread, the fact that reactos has read-write capability into nt hive key (registry) format. l. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
